Furniture Shopping.

Last night Stephen and I went furniture shopping. It was blast to be together, but my taste and Stephens taste is completely 100% different. We have pretty much decided that we lean more towards a sectional couch, there are so many different styles of sectional couches. We found two last night one style was contemporary but couchey (I think, I just made up a word) the other was plain and, just a couch. We could not agree on a single one. I can tell this is going to be a long process to picking out the perfect living room suite. I would have taken pics of the ones we were looking at but, I um... sort of broke my camera. I had the camera sitting up in a chair to take a sweet picture of us and, it fell off now the lens won't go back in. Oops...... Sorry mom no pictures for a little while till I can get it fixed.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

(Oh if you get a live tree from wal-mart undo all the twining outside then shake.)

We put up our Christmas tree Sunday night. It was alot of fun putting it together. We made such a mess of all the needles good thing we have hard wood flooring, other wise we would be cleaning needles up for the next six months.

Stephen and I went out Friday night looking for that special ornament for us. We found the perfect one! It was the last one they had I was happy we got to it before anyone else.

Last year we put up a tree in Stephens apartment to be a little festive. Stephen let me put up the star last year, so this year it was his turn.

Thanksgiving weekend was a blast!!!

This past Thanksgiving weekend has been a blast. I told Stephen we had to take pictures of everything we did, since it was our first Thanksgiving as a married couple. Wednesday night we headed to Nashville to spend some time with my parents. Stephen wanted to stop at Krystals for a bite to eat, it was really good since I was super hungry.



Thursday for Thanksgiving day, we all went to Stephens grandmothers house.

My dad had to work, so Ms. Becky offered to let my mom and sisters eat with us. It was a great day, I had so much fun with everyone. I ate way to much turkey and dressing, I think I even got to nap a little on the couch. Oh! we got to see Wilson, he is walking now it is amazing to see how much he as grown .

Stephen bought a 9mm gun Friday he was so proud of it. He wanted to show me how to use it so, Saturday after we got up, and Stephen made a very yummy breakfast for us we headed out to the 11 acres to shoot the gun.

It was very easy to handle not that I'm going to be using it ever, its just for emergency situations We got to also walk around on the land since we really have not been able to during summer with all the brush in the way. We found a tree that was deformed, then we got to looking and it has a very old wire fence running strait through it.
I thought that it was neat. We also came across fresh rubbings on a few trees for all you deer hunters out there, Stephen was excited.

Kool-Aid Pie ( Skittles Pie)

Stephen and I (mostly me) made a Kool-Aid pie last night, it was fun being in the kitchen together. I'm so excited we are having Josh and Whitney over to eat some Italian food and

kool-aid pie. (or as Josh calls it Skittles pie) Stephen along with me are getting ready for all the holiday fun. Hopefully he and I will be off work to go and spend some time with our families in Nashville. This year for Thanksgiving we are combining families at Ms. Becky's house, I hope all goes well. MOM!! PLEASE MAKE PUMPKIN PIE!!

Simple Kool-Aid Pie:

*One package of your favorite kool-aid drink mix (lemon-lime is my favorite)

*One can of sweeten condensed milk,

*One 8oz tub of cool-whip.

* Gram cracker pie crust

Mix together all the ingredients in a medium size bowl. Pour into the pie crust. Put in the fridge for a hour or so to chill ( the longer the better). Then Serve.

Oh, enjoy the Christmas music, I know it early.

Twilight!!

I am SO excited!! In 7 days the first Twilight movie comes out. Yay! I can not wait to see it, I hope it is as good as the book. I encourage everyone to read all the books, I read the first book in two days. I was actually putting off doing work around the house to read it. I promise you will not be sorry if you read them.
My life right now is not all that exciting. I will be very happy when this outage is over, so Stephen and I can go out, and do stuff together. I'm ready to hang out with some friends that we haven't seen in 2 months. I will also be happy when he can come back to church with me. I think that has been the hardest part of him working, not getting to come to church. I feel so lost with out him being there at our new church. I thank God for a wonderful couple in our morning class who offers for me to sit with them so I don't have to sit alone. Thank you very much to Haley and Skyler.
I'm looking foward to this weekend. My parents are coming down for the day, on Saturday. Emily is coming! I am very happy about that, I have not seen my sis in about 2 months, may be three.

Help us to decide.

Stephen and I are going to be buying brand new living room furniture and dinning room furniture. We can not decide on which living room set we like better. I like my pick which is the first picture and Stephens likes his choice which is the second set. Please tell us what you think.

^^Katie's choice^^

^^Stephens Choice^^

Voting

Today is the day, where we all get to vote on the future President. This is my first time to vote, I'm a little nervous to say the least. I'm also very excited that I get to be apart of a bittersweet historical election. I am bitter, because I'm opposing Obama and all his beliefs. I also have a uneasy feeling about the whole election. I'm having a sweet day, because I know that God has his hand on the election. It will go just the way God intended it to go. Good or Bad.
On a different note, I finally got my wedding video back after four months of being married. Colton did a wonderful job on it. I was very happy to watch the magical day all over again. We are going to have dinner with Stephen parents tonight to show them the video.
